Old Trans-Am racers revisited

Big, old and bold – racing just ain’t racing unless you’re in historic Trans Ams. Just remember to wear some serious ear plugs...

Just to give you an idea of how
popular these races became, take a look at the sales figures for the fast Fords
and Chevys. Ford sold 22,000 Mustangs in the first two days after it was
launched, and more than one million in the first two years. Chevy sold 250,000
Camaros a year from launch. And Dodge was belting out as many Chargers as it
could build from 1966 to 1970. To put that into perspective, more of these pony
cars were sold each year in the US than all of the cars of all makes and sizes
sold in the UK in 2008.
